Benefits of technology

[0010] These and other aspects and features of the invention will become more fully apparent from the following description and appended claims, and may be learned by the practice of embodiments of the invention as set forth below.

Problems solved by technology

Unfortunately, this new ability has also brought to light the horrible inadequacies of existing technology to actually find that information or knowledge even though it may exist somewhere.
The problem is that there aren't any truly effective mechanisms for assembling and making all that knowledge easily accessible.
It seems today that computing technologies have probably exceeded the human mind's ability for knowledge storage capacity, but pale in comparison to the human mind's ability to organize and process that stored knowledge.
All the information in the world is useless unless it can be effectively processed and retrieved when needed.

Embodiment Construction

[0017] What follows is a detailed description of various mechanisms and techniques for knowledge representation and manipulation. Described is one implementation of a knowledge representation language and knowledge processing environment. The techniques described here may be implemented using any multi-agent knowledge-based system, such as, for example the Kno Web® knowledge based system owned and licensed by the assignee of this application and which is the subject of U.S. Pat. No. 6,763,342.

System Overview

[0018] The invention will be described with reference to one particular implementation of the inventive concepts. That specific implementation is termed “KNAML”, and will be referred to throughout this document. Although described here with specific reference to KNAML, the invention is not limited to this specific implementation and can be implemented in other ways.

[0019] In one aspect, KNAML is a knowledge representation language. However, more than a language, KNAML is an e...

Abstract

Described is a knowledge representation language and knowledge processing environment. Embodiments described include an environment for storing, retrieving, transmitting, and reasoning over knowledge. Knowledge is represented using three basic elements: (1) there are concepts, which represent objects or ideas; (2) there are relations, which represent structures and describe the roles concepts play in relation to each other within those structures; and (3) there are graphs, which represent situations or collections composed of concepts, relations, and graphs.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION [0001] This application claims priority to co-pending U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60 / 570,242, filed on May 12, 2004, entitled “KNAML: A Knowledge Representation Language for Distributed Reasoning,” and assigned to the same assignee as this application.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] 1. Field of the Invention [0003] The present invention generally relates to knowledge management. More particularly, the invention relates to a knowledge representation language and knowledge processing environment. [0004] 2. Description of the Related Art [0005] The area of knowledge management is exploding in today's digital age. It seems that anyone, anywhere, at any particular time has instant access to an overwhelming amount of information or knowledge. The Internet has empowered individuals with a new ability to search for information on practically any subject under the sun. Unfortunately, this new ability has also brought to light the horrible...
